Recommended DNS for IPTV and General Use

[Ghostman1986]

Hey guys,

Just wondering if there is a recommended DNS that should be used when using IPTV and general browsing over the ISP default?

I have moved mine on my router to cloudflare from the ISP default and also use Proton VPN paid all the time.

But I am just wondering if Google or Quad9 is better from any of your experiences when it comes to using IPTV and general Internet use bearing in mind I use my VPN all the time.

Many thanks in advance

VPN’s usually route your requests through their own private DNS servers.

Genuine question: why do people mess with the dns? Ive been around iptv for many years with different isp's, and suppliers, i pick the remote up and just watch channels. Do people make it complicated for something to do or am i missing something? i rarely use a vpn and rarely have any problems

It's just a trouble shooting step. It can help for a lot of the same reasons a vpn can help. This whole hustle is just connecting to a server sometimes you gotta change how you do that.
